If you're looking for languages, I could lend you some :)
I'm serious -- I have some projects stuck because I don't have a
world to place them and I'm lazy about making it.

Anyway, here's some ideas:

1. The deities or Lords should have a very ancient language which
doesn't change (I'm assuming they are immortal) and is very slow
and high-sounding, with some long words representing complicate
concepts (sort of like those German psycological terms).

2. The Shinda could perhaps speak a language derived from that
of the Lords (or that has massively borrowed from it), only with
some drastic changes.

3. The Satra are not going to discuss phylosophical subjects,
so their language could be a subset of that of humans or whoever
commands them, an rough argot with a minimum number of words,
distorted and shortened, with no ambiguities.

I don't know if this is what you meant. And I couldn't say more
without knowing how on Earth these sentient races came together :)
